Rongyou's life as a lord was quite comfortable at first, except for one thing.

It was his math teacher, an old gentleman who had won the highest award in the Galactic Empire. He was almost 150 years old, with gray hair and had to work hard to give him lectures. Rong You felt very sorry.What's more, Rong You's secretary arranged his lecture time at 4:30 in the morning, a time that is quite harmful to the elderly.

Rong You has protested against this itinerary, but his schedule is really too full: he can't change the meeting time of important officials for his own tutoring time, and he can't ask those representatives from all walks of life who come to the talks to come so early , if the lord's imperial court opening time (a classical system in which all officials can apply for an audience at a certain time) is changed to 4:30, it will seem unreasonable again, making it seem that he is looking for an excuse not to listen to the following same opinion.

So he could only make arrangements like this for the time being, and ordered people to take good care of the old man's physical condition.

In addition, Rong You's power transfer process was very smooth, and his subordinates were as obedient as a nest of quails, and would only say "Yes, yes" with pure and kind eyes.

This may be mainly due to the fact that Prince Ming lived with him in Feilian District, and firmly suppressed all dissatisfied voices like a pinning needle, and there was only a scene of singing praises, and only a temple was built to worship the two of them. Woke up.

But Rong You knows Di Ming: Prince Ming is not the kind of person who likes to use his identity to suppress the place all the time. He went to the S169 galaxy for private visits. Not many people knew that he had been there. He was quite a "dragon" See the beginning but not the end" mystery.

Besides, Rong You was tired of listening to flattery, so she discussed with Prince Ming and decided to just pretend that he wasn't there.

A few days later, the prince's guard of honor retreated to the center of the empire with great fanfare, and everyone beat gongs and drums to see off Prince Ming.

Two days later, the people below slowly came to their senses, as if they were larvae in the ground just after the winter, one by one recovered from the frozen state and started to move on the ground.

Other things are fine, after all, Rong You has been taught for several months.

The thorny head that caused Rong You the most headache was one of his legal ministers - this position is almost the top three leaders in the law enforcement system of Feilian District, and the management of this person is concentrated on the sentencing and prison .

The matter originated from the death penalty tradition in Feilian District.As Fang Cunren said before, Feilian District has not sentenced anyone to death for more than ten years. The most serious sentence for them is life imprisonment and deprivation of political rights.

But according to the procedure, the local court will still give the death penalty, and then transfer all the death penalty cases to the upper court for approval; the Supreme Court in Feilian District will reject some of the death sentences, and then hand over the other part to the lord's table; finally, according to the unspoken rules , the lord will find a reason (such as his wife is pregnant) to cross out all the death sentences. This is one of the very proud means of grace of the previous lords.

But this glorious tradition was finally passed on to Rong You, Xiao Heilong looked over all these cases suspiciously several times, and was very angry - the Supreme Court of Feilian District could maintain the death sentence on the surface, of course It is impossible for them to be good stubble, and most of them have committed extremely bad crimes.

A total of 13 such death sentences came, and with a flick of a pen, Rong You directly passed 11 of them.

Immediately, his legal ministers were all dumbfounded, they hadn't carried out the death penalty order for a long time!

One of the upright people met Rong You that night, and severely criticized Rong You, saying that he "doesn't know how to understand the helpless behavior of the people in a cruel environment."

Rong You was furious on the spot, threw a dossier in front of his eyes, and said, "Have you read it? Pick it up for me and read it to me word by word!"

The upright legal minister said he would read it, and opened the file: This case is about a rich second generation who forced a female student, and found countless people to brutally torture the victim for two years. In the end, the incident was revealed after the girl was beaten to death, and the prisoner spent money to clear up the relationship. He was sentenced to a total of seven months and threatened to take revenge on the girl's family because they refused civil reconciliation and influenced her to a certain extent through public opinion. the result of the trial.On the first day after the prisoner was released from prison seven months later, he immediately bought the murderer to kill the whole family of the victim, including a child who was not yet a month old.

After reading the entire dossier, the legal minister's scalp was already numb.

Rong You said coldly: "Where is the cruel environment? Where is the helpless action? Tell me, what reason does this kind of scum have to be forgiven?"

The other party said: "The prisoner behaved well in prison and has obvious repentance. His sentence should be reduced."

Rong You said: "That's right, he should have been sentenced to death by Ling Chi, but the commutation of his sentence became the death sentence and he was executed immediately - what are you not satisfied with, huh?"

The coercion of the black dragon was very heavy at this time, and the sweat oozed from the forehead.

But honest people will continue to be honest. When he came to persuade the lord, the coffin had already been tied to the roof of the car.Some people have always believed that no matter what the circumstances are, if he died because of admonishing the upper class nobles, then his death must be glorious, great, and famous in history, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

So he kowtowed to His Excellency the Duke's Longwei, finished his advice, talked about the necessity of abolishing the death penalty, and used the example of His Majesty the former emperor: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor actually abolished the death penalty back then. Preparations began in the first year of his accession to the throne, and in the third year he began to reform the death penalty approval system from top to bottom. A total of less than 44 death sentences have been passed..."

Rong You propped his chin with one hand, put the other hand on the armrest, and beat the rhythm boredly, while thinking "Does this idiot know that he is talking about my grandpa", while listening to the whole process with a blank expression.

In the end, the people at the bottom had already spoken so eloquently that they were about to die on the spot and express their intentions, but Rong You said indifferently: "Very well, my verdict has been handed down, if you have any objections, just hold it in." "If His Majesty the Holy Emperor has any objections, you can let him come to me."

other side:"………………"

Rong You pushed back all the opposing voices, resolutely refusing to change the 11 death sentences he had sentenced.

This seems to have stepped on the tail of the White Saints.This faction was also analyzed by Rongyou's consultants and introduced by Fang Cunren before. They called Emperor Shengai (Rongyou's grandfather) the "Holy Emperor" and believed that this emperor was benevolent, magnanimous, wise and fair. Unlucky enough to catch up with the army of red crystals, he will definitely become a famous king through the ages.

Therefore, the Huaisheng faction studied some of the policies and ideas of the Holy Emperor every day, carried out the obsession of the brainless fans to the end, learned from the "Three Golden Rules" of the Suzaku Empire, and organized them and called them the "Ten Sacred Commandments". The most famous one is: use the death penalty with caution.Then the Huaisheng sect has developed for a generation, and when it comes to this generation, they directly regard "use with caution" as "not to use". This is the biggest reason why there has been no death penalty in Feilian District for ten years.

When Rong You came, he wanted to challenge their limits, of course it was to make people jump.Within two days, the news media began to report: Our new lord will execute 11 people as soon as he arrives!This is 11 lives!They all have relatives waiting outside!For example, this xxx is still so young, and he is still a promising student of the xxx school. He once carried his grandmother for a full [-] kilometers to seek medical treatment in the cold winter...

When watching this news, Rong You was peeling peanuts to eat, and complained expressionlessly: "Are they idiots when they treat the people? Does a death row prisoner help an old lady across the road to prove that he is a good person? Sudden immunity from all other criminal consequences?"

Prince Ming was standing in front of the easel, holding a pencil and drawing in front of his eyes, using an ancient technique to determine the proportions, while casually saying: "It's better to have a long-term plan for this matter."

Rong You found it incomprehensible, he has such great power in the territory, he can dismiss anyone he wants directly, why should he take the long term for a group of scumbags?

Within a few days, there was a hot topic in Feilian District: about how many prisoners their cold and cruel new lord planned to "slaughter" in a year - according to the statistics of the people, the average number is about 300.

Rong You: "Pfft!!!"

Spray to spray, the decision that has already been made, Rong You will not change it even if she dies.He oversaw the entire process of the death penalty, watching the prison guards escort the condemned prisoner into the execution ground until the forensic doctor went in to confirm the death of the prisoner.Once these 11 people died, Rong You felt that he was really acting on behalf of the heavens, and there would be a circle of light behind him!

But the White Saints are worse than death.Under the current system of the Galactic Empire, unless they rebel, there is no way to stop a lord from exercising his legitimate power.

When this matter was over and Rong You resumed the routine meeting, he realized that this Huaisheng faction had a grudge against him.

It is precisely because the power of the lord is too great that almost every official under the lord will spontaneously form a group to condense the power of the officials in order to compete with the power of the lord.This is their way of survival, and it has gradually developed into their way of honor. Some people even take pride in being expelled by their lords.

In Rongyou's political affairs hall, at first people often mentioned Emperor Shengai, and then pulled out what Rongyou did to criticize. From Rong You's point of view, it's almost the rhythm of "Although I can't change your decision, I still want to disgust you".

But Rong You couldn't do anything, after all, they didn't do anything wrong, they just said a few words.If he was convicted for his remarks, it would further confirm Rong You's reputation for being self-willed.

Until one night, Rong You had to get up from the bed again, and drove back a Huai Sheng who was kneeling at the door of his house begging for his life.

Looking back, Prince Ming was really dissatisfied and gave him an idea.

From the next day, whoever continues to utter the word "Holy Emperor" under His Excellency the Duke will be ready to be summoned at any time, get up at 4:30 in the morning, and wait for the report at [-]:[-] in the cold wind at the gate of the castle.

——The effect is surprisingly good!The "torture" that forced people to wake up so early in three days unexpectedly temporarily calmed down this group of idiots who are not even afraid of death!Rongyou's math teacher can sleep in too!
